Here’s an idea that’ll be popular with DMs who make good use of heavy card screens and who like to organise. These dice towers don’t sit on the table and take up space, they clip onto the GM screen and catch dice in trays to stop them escaping. [I need one of these] I think […]
Is this the best ‘dice bag’ you’ve ever seen?
Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPGer Melissa Alexandria likes her dice. Don’t we all? Those shiny little sparkle polyhedral. The problem? No pretty dice bags to match! Now Geek Native has blogged about impressive dice bags, dragon dice bags and even Total War dice bags but I admit Melissa has a point. In a Facebook share […]
Dress up your dungeon with just a roll of the die
Dungeon Dressing Dice are a Kickstarter from Incognito Solutions. The idea is simple but effective; rather than using tables to conjure up descriptions for your dungeon why not read straight off the die themselves? This Kickstarter has funded, at the time of writing there are 22 days still go and the campaign is racing towards […]
Most satisfying dice tower ever? Blackfire Crystal Twister
Last year YouTuber Rich Koeppen posted this video of a crystal dice tower in action on his kitchen table. The question is; is this the most satisfying dice tower ever? It works as a dice tower as you’re sure the dice are truly random and they don’t scatter too far across the table. Yeah, true, […]
TradeCraft Bonus: Handmade dice rolling trays
A dice rolling tray can be a very useful thing. They don’t just help avoid dice explosions that scatter across the floor they are useful for handing dice around a table and even allow a player and GM to watch a dice roll together without anyone else at the table knowing the results. Etsy store […]
Is this a thing for Valentine’s Day? Chocolate dice
It turns out that Amazon has no shortage of chocolate dice on offer. These dice are about as healthy as you’d expect, with all that sugar, dairy and nuts, but they are shiny and perhaps they’re just the surprise gift for that tabletop roleplayer in your life? The catch? I don’t think the dice on […]
RPG Player kits funded
If you’re a DM looking to get a game on then I think these RPF Player Kits from Critical Games are the ticket. At the time of writing the campaign has funded with over $8,000 in the pot and 13 days to go. [Back this Campaign] It’s worth paying attention to the pledges. $20 gets […]
This dice is between 1,700 and 4,000 years old
Dating from the Ptolemaic Period, which is around 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD, is this icosahedron from Egypt. The ancient d20 sided die is held now by the The Metropolitan Museum of Art and rather nicely the image of the artifact is entirely in the public domain. It is inscribed with Greek […]
The portable Crit Kit for travelling GMs
Do you GM a game that you travel to? Perhaps you game from home but just don’t have much space? I think Justin Sirois Kickstarter for dice tray and portal dungeon will appeal to you. The main problem? This metal fan was surprised to encounter a loud death metal track to the Kickstarter video. This […]
Forging a steel d20
In this episode the vlogsmith Gil Ramirez forges a steel d20. There’s more skill to it than I imaged as Gil’s required to hammer each face of the die by hand. He’s keen of eye enough to do this without measurement or fancy tools either – though I doubt the die is as well balanced […]
